SYSTEM-500 572

Roland SYSTEM-500 Complete Set: a modular synthesizer system offering a wide range of sonic possibilities and flexibility to create and shape unique electronic sounds. With its 5 Eurorack modules, including VCOs, VCFs, VCAs, LFOs, mixers, and effects, this system allows for extensive sound design and modulation capabilities. You can patch and connect the modules in various ways, giving you the freedom to craft intricate sonic landscapes and explore new sonic territories, from classic analog sounds to experimental electronic music.

LFO section

The LFO of the 572 module is designed so that the output voltage decreases as the

frequency rises, so that it can be used to modulate the phase shifter or delay.

The Parameters of the 572

The 572 is a module containing four sections: a phase shifter, delay, LFO, and gate delay.

SHIFT FREQ

Species the center frequency of the

phase shift.

RESONANCE

Adjusts the amount of feedback that

accentuates the phase shift eect.

IN/ OUT

These jacks are the source input to and

the output from the PHASE SHIFTER

section.

MIX

Adjusts the balance between the source

and the phase shift eect.

EXT CV

If you want to use an external source

to control the balance between the

source and the phase shift eect, input

a voltage to this jack.

MIX

Adjusts the balance between the source

and the delay sound.

EXT CV

If you want to use an external source to

control the balance between the source

and delay sound, input a voltage to this

jack.

MOD

Species the amount by which the

delay changes.

* At the “0” position, the delay time is xed

at the “DELAY TIME” setting. At the “10”

position, the maximum change in delay

time occurs.

EXT CV

If you want to use an external source to

control the delay time, input a voltage

to this jack.

* If nothing is connected to this jack, the

amount of delay changes according to the

LFO OUT (

)

output.

DELAY TIME

Species the delay time.

* 572 has BBD (Bucket Brigade Device).

The longer the delay time the more noisy

its clock repeats. You can use 521 LPF to

reduce or eliminate the clock noise.

RESONANCE

Adjusts the amount of feedback that

accentuates the delay eect. By adding

feedback with a short delay time, you

can obtain a anger eect.

IN/ OUT

These jacks are the source input to and

the output from the DELAY section.

PHASE SHIFTER section

DELAY section

LFO OUT

These jacks output the frequency

specied by FREQUENCY as a triangle

wave and an inverted triangle wave.

572

GATE DELAY section

FREQUENCY

Species the frequency of the LFO. The

frequency of the LFO is shown by the

indicator located beside the knob.

* If nothing is connected to the "MOD -

EXT CV" jack of the PHASE or DELAY, the

LFO changes at the rate specied by

FREQUENCY.

THRESH

Species the voltage level that is output

by the delay gate.

GATE IN/ OUT

These jacks input and output the gate

signal.

DELAY TIME

Species the delay time of the gate.

GATE TIME

Species the length of the gate

(release time).

MOD

Species how much the center

frequency of the phase shift will change.

* At the “0” position, the center frequency

does not change; the frequency is xed

at the setting of “SHIFT FREQ.” At the “10”

position, the frequency changes at the

proportion of one octave per volt.

EXT CV

If you want to use an external source

to control the center frequency of the

phase shift, input a voltage to this jack.

* If nothing is connected to this jack, the

center frequency changes according to the

output of LFO OUT (
